Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub2

I just added Lucid 20100426.1 to a WinXP Pro SP3 system in free space left behind Windows.

Windows XP was not on the grub boot menu initially after loading.

I updated Linux, then set to customizing Grub. Upon running update-grub, I saw WinXP added to the menu list, and sure enough upon a second reboot it was there.

So must be that the other OS detect script either does not get run, or fails to detect other OS's properly when run from the LiveCD.
